Is Awarded AI the same as Procurement Sciences?

Yes. Procurement Sciences is the company, and Awarded AI is the platform it sells. Both awarded.ai and awardedai.com redirect to procurementsciences.com, so a buyer searching "awarded.ai" and a buyer searching "Procurement Sciences" are looking at the same product. Its public modules are AI Chat, AI Draft, AI Review, Bid Search, Pipeline, Contacts, and Datahub. Every comparison on this page applies to both names.

Is CLEATUS more expensive than Procurement Sciences?

Procurement Sciences does not publish pricing on its website, so a direct list-price comparison is not possible. The closest public datapoint is an illustrative "Est. platform cost: $40,000/yr" figure on Procurement Sciences' homepage ROI calculator for a 25-proposal / 8-FTE / $500K-avg-contract scenario — presented as example output, not a published rate card. CLEATUS publishes $78/mo (DATA + AI, $936/year) on annual plans; DATA + AI + Automations is sales-led (contact us). Actual Procurement Sciences pricing for your team comes via a demo and annual contract.

Does CLEATUS automatically find contracts that match my business?

Yes. CLEATUS reads your capture profile — strengths, past work, NAICS, set-asides, geography — and scores every new opportunity across federal (SAM.gov), 50,000+ SLED sources, DLA DIBBS, GSA eBuy, SeaPort NxG, PIEE, Grants.gov (including SBIR/STTR), subcontract leads, and federal forecasts. High-fit matches are delivered with a compliance read to your inbox daily, so your team starts each morning with the day's shortlist rather than a blank SAM.gov tab. Procurement Sciences ships Bid Search and Smart Matching modules; specific source breakdown and daily auto-delivery from a structured capture profile is not described in public marketing.

Does CLEATUS break down contracts before I read them?

Yes. Every solicitation CLEATUS surfaces is automatically broken down into the Uniform Contract Format (UCF) before you open it — scope, pricing, deliverables, deadlines, evaluation criteria, FAR clauses — so federal, state, and local RFPs all land in the same standardized layout. The shredding runs upstream of the proposal workflow. Procurement Sciences's AI Review module evaluates proposal drafts against compliance criteria *after* you write them — a different surface from automatic pre-shredding of inbound solicitations.

Can I get help writing proposals on both platforms?

Yes — both platforms include AI proposal drafting. CLEATUS ships an AI Proposal Writer (included on DATA + AI + Automations) that builds a compliance matrix and win-strategy plan from the solicitation, then drafts structured multi-volume proposals grounded in your UEI award history and Document Hub, exporting real .docx and .pdf files. Procurement Sciences ships Awarded AI Draft and AI Review modules marketed as "90% faster" proposal drafts and compliance matrices, delivered through a sales-led onboarding with a dedicated AI strategist. The functional gap is small; the delivery-and-pricing gap is the deciding factor for most buyers.

Does Procurement Sciences have anything CLEATUS doesn't?

Yes — there are real gaps to acknowledge. Procurement Sciences holds FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization and CMMC Level 2 Assessed status, and offers Azure Government / GCC High and customer-managed (air-gapped) deployments on a single-tenant architecture. CLEATUS FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency is expected in Q3 2026, audit pending, and CLEATUS does not ship a single-tenant on-prem deployment. Procurement Sciences also runs a formal multi-week Awarded AI Certification Program for proposal and BD professionals. If your work runs through DoD programs requiring CUI handling, or you need an air-gapped deployment, Procurement Sciences is the stronger fit.

How was this comparison researched?

Every factual claim about Procurement Sciences on this page is sourced from publicly available pages. The platform, pricing, security, and certification claims come from procurementsciences.com pages captured on 2026-05-19.

Subject: Side-by-side comparison of CLEATUS and Procurement Sciences (the Awarded AI platform) for government contractors.
Naming: Procurement Sciences sells its platform as Awarded AI. The domains awarded.ai and awardedai.com both redirect to procurementsciences.com, so a search for "Awarded AI alternative" and a search for "Procurement Sciences alternative" describe the same comparison.
CLEATUS positioning: Self-serve AI-first GovCon platform — daily AI contract matching from your capture profile, automatic UCF contract breakdown of every solicitation, event-driven AI Workflows, AI Proposal Writer, and Claude + ChatGPT MCP connectors, with published pricing and a 7-day free trial.
Procurement Sciences positioning: Sales-led AI-first GovCon platform branded "Awarded AI" with AI Draft, AI Review, Bid Search, Pipeline, Contacts, and Datahub modules, single-tenant deployment, FedRAMP Moderate, CMMC L2, and a formal certification program.
When Procurement Sciences fits: Buyers needing FedRAMP Moderate, CMMC L2, Azure Government / GCC High, single-tenant or air-gapped deployment, or a sales-led vendor with a multi-week proposal/BD certification program.
When CLEATUS fits: Buyers who want daily AI contract matching from a capture profile, every solicitation pre-shredded into the Uniform Contract Format, event-driven AI Workflows with AI Agent/Extract steps, first-party Claude + ChatGPT MCP, native Slack + Zapier integrations, and broad source coverage (SAM.gov + 50,000+ SLED + DLA DIBBS + GSA eBuy + SeaPort NxG + PIEE + Grants.gov + SBIR/STTR + subcontract leads + forecasts), with self-serve DATA + AI published at $78/mo and a sales-led DATA + AI + Automations tier.

Procurement Sciences (Awarded AI) Alternative

CLEATUS — the agentic AI alternative to Procurement Sciences™

Name: CLEATUS
Brand: CLEATUS
Rating: 5 (12 reviews)

Also known as Awarded AI. Procurement Sciences sells its platform under that name, and both awarded.ai and awardedai.com redirect to procurementsciences.com. Everything below applies to both names.[1][2]

The all-in-one GovCon platform without the enterprise price tag. If you are evaluating Procurement Sciences (the company behind Awarded AI), see how CLEATUS compares on what actually matters: true agentic AI that calls tools and executes multi-step work, automated daily capture, pre-shredded contract breakdowns, AI workflows, proposal writing, and transparent published pricing.

At a glance

A side-by-side read on the dimensions buyers most often ask us about. Each row about Procurement Sciences traces back to a public source — see the disclosure below.

Dimension	CLEATUS	Procurement Sciences
Core positioning	Self-serve AI-first GovCon platform — daily AI contract matching, automatic contract breakdown, AI Proposal Writer, AI Workflows, and Claude + ChatGPT MCP in one product, with published pricing and a free trial	Sales-led AI-first GovCon platform branded "Awarded AI" covering proposals, capture, and business development, sold via demo and annual contract[3]
Daily AI contract matching	Every day, CLEATUS scores every new federal, SLED, DLA DIBBS, GSA eBuy, SeaPort NxG, PIEE, grant, and subcontract opportunity against your capture profile and delivers high-fit matches with a compliance analysis to your inbox — automating capture management end-to-end	Bid Search and Smart Matching modules surface relevant opportunities and predict matches from your past bids[4]
AI contract breakdown (pre-shredding)	Every matched opportunity arrives pre-shredded: CLEATUS reads every page of the package (base solicitation, amendments, attachments, exhibits) and breaks it into one standardized Contract Breakdown following the Uniform Contract Format: scope, requirements, deliverables, deadlines, pricing, and evaluation criteria. One format across federal, state, and local means every contract reads the same way, search works at the requirement and scope-of-work level, matching and analysis draw on structured data rather than raw PDFs, and agent answers stay grounded with less hallucination risk	AI Review evaluates proposal drafts against compliance criteria after you write them; pre-shredding every inbound solicitation into a standardized format is not described in public marketing[4]
AI proposal writing	AI Proposal Writer opens every bid with a Proposal Plan built from your solicitation, checks steps off as the work lands, reconciles the plan when an amendment posts, and drafts multi-volume proposals with compliance matrices and win-strategy plans, grounded in your UEI award history and Document Hub — exported as Word and PDF on the DATA + AI + Automations plan	Awarded AI Draft + AI Review modules generate proposal drafts, outlines, and compliance matrices, marketed as "90% faster"[5]

Reasons, researches, executes, and cites sources — no human in between steps.	Marketed as generative AI for drafting and reviewing proposals (AI Chat, AI Draft, AI Review). Public marketing does not describe tool calls, agentic reasoning, autonomous research, or multi-step task execution — it is presented as text-in, text-out generation, not an agent that takes actions.[4]

Pricing transparency and self-serve start	Published self-serve pricing — $78/mo (DATA + AI) on annual plans, plus a 7-day free trial; DATA + AI + Automations is sales-led	Pricing not published publicly; not transparent — primary CTA is "Book a Demo"[7]
FedRAMP and CMMC compliance	FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency expected Q3 2026, audit pending	SOC 2 Type 2, CMMC Level 2 Assessed, and FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization on the Awarded AI platform; Azure Government deployment designed to meet NIST 800-171 for CUI[8]
Deployment options	Cloud-hosted multi-tenant SaaS	Three deployment models on a single-tenant architecture — Azure Commercial, Azure Government Cloud (GCC High compatible), and customer-managed Kubernetes for air-gapped or strict-residency workloads[9]
Formal AI certification program	In-product onboarding, help center, and account-executive support on annual plans — no standalone exam-based certification	Awarded AI Certification Program with onboarding courses, twice-daily user webinars, and a comprehensive certification exam for proposal, BD, and capture professionals[10]

When each platform is the right choice

Two AI-first GovCon platforms. They optimize for different go-to-market and deployment constraints. Here is where each one shines — straight, not spun.

When Procurement Sciences is the right choice

You prefer a sales-led, custom annual contract model with a dedicated AI strategist embedded with your team.
You need FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization or CMMC Level 2 today to handle CUI on defense programs — CLEATUS FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency is expected in Q3 2026, audit pending; if you cannot wait, Procurement Sciences holds it now.
You need an air-gapped or customer-managed Kubernetes deployment running inside your own cloud, rather than a multi-tenant SaaS.
You want a vendor-led formal certification program — onboarding courses, twice-daily webinars, and an exam — for proposal and BD staff who will live in the tool full-time.

When CLEATUS is the right choice

You want capture automated for you — CLEATUS scores every new opportunity against your capture profile every day and delivers high-fit matches with compliance analysis straight to your inbox.
You want every solicitation pre-shredded into the Uniform Contract Format before you open it, so bid/no-bid decisions take minutes instead of an afternoon spent reading a 200-page PDF.
You want to automate your GovCon operations end-to-end — multi-step AI automations that screen opportunities, prep go/no-go briefs, alert on amendments, deliver award leads, and route work to the right person on autopilot, as a force multiplier for your capture and BD team.
You want CLEATUS available as a tool inside Claude.ai and ChatGPT via first-party MCP connectors, so the AI assistant your team already uses can read contracts, draft documents, and update your pipeline.
You bid across federal (SAM.gov), 50,000+ SLED sources, DLA DIBBS, GSA eBuy, SeaPort NxG, PIEE, Grants.gov (including SBIR/STTR), subcontract leads, and forecasts — all in one AI-aware pipeline.
You want native Slack and Zapier integrations (Microsoft 365, 5,000+ apps) without standing up a custom integration project.
You want flexibility on how to evaluate — published pricing, a 7-day free trial you can start without a sales call, and a demo on request if you want a guided walkthrough.
Every opportunity you open is already analyzed. CLEATUS pre-shreds each matched opportunity, reading every page of the document package and breaking it into the same standardized Contract Breakdown. That structure makes matches and analysis richer, lets you search contracts by scope of work and specific requirements, keeps agent answers grounded in structured data with less hallucination risk, and means every contract you evaluate reads the same way.

Feature by feature

Four places where the platforms diverge most. Each row shows what CLEATUS ships on the left and how Procurement Sciences addresses (or doesn't address) the same need on the right.

Daily AI contract matching from your capture profile

CLEATUS

CLEATUS automates capture management. Every day, the AI scores every new opportunity across federal (SAM.gov), 50,000+ SLED sources, DLA DIBBS, GSA eBuy, SeaPort NxG, PIEE, Grants.gov (SBIR/STTR included), subcontract leads, and forecasts against your capture profile — strengths, past work, NAICS, set-asides, geography — and delivers a ranked list of high-fit matches with a compliance read to your inbox. Your team starts each morning with the day's shortlist, not an empty SAM.gov tab.

Procurement Sciences™

Procurement Sciences ships Bid Search and Smart Matching inside the Awarded AI platform — Smart Matching "uses algorithms to learn from your past bids and predict opportunities tailored to your needs."[4]

AI contract breakdown — every contract pre-shredded

CLEATUS

CLEATUS automatically breaks down every solicitation into the Uniform Contract Format (UCF) before you open it. Federal, state, and local RFPs all land in the same standardized layout — scope, pricing, deliverables, deadlines, evaluation criteria, FAR clauses — so bid/no-bid decisions take minutes. The shredding runs upstream of the proposal workflow, not after a draft is written.

Learn more →

Procurement Sciences™

Procurement Sciences's AI Review module evaluates proposal drafts against custom compliance criteria *after* you write them — a different surface. Public marketing does not describe automatic pre-shredding of every inbound solicitation into a standardized format ahead of bid/no-bid.[4]

Agentic AI — tool calls, reasoning, and live web research

CLEATUS

CLEATUS is built on agentic AI — the kind that reasons, plans, and takes actions, not the kind that just writes text. The agent breaks your request into steps, then calls tools to execute them: semantic search across federal and SLED contracts, awards, contractors, agencies, people, and NAICS; grep and read across your Document Hub; autonomous web search for current wage determinations, market rates, and competitor history; file and spreadsheet generation; PWIN calculation against your past performance; and pipeline mutations. The same 33-tool agent is exposed inside Claude.ai and ChatGPT via the MCP connectors. Every answer cites sources and every mutation is logged.

Learn more →

Procurement Sciences™

Procurement Sciences markets Awarded AI as generative AI — AI Chat for asking questions, AI Draft for generating proposal text, AI Review for evaluating drafts. Public marketing describes text generation, not an agent that reasons, calls tools, researches the web, or executes multi-step tasks on its own.[4]

Automate your GovCon operations end-to-end

CLEATUS

CLEATUS Workflows is a force multiplier for capture and BD teams: a visual canvas with 13 trigger events, 18 addable step types, and 15 distinct actions that runs multi-step GovCon processes on autopilot. Each AI Agent step is its own agent with a model you pick, a scoped tool set, and a structured output schema, so it returns typed fields that later steps branch on instead of a blob of prose. Chain as many as you like, run them in parallel, query contracts, and search your documents, then route with If/Else and Filter. Triggers fire on new recommendations, new opportunities, pipeline changes, pursuits created, updated, or archived, phase moves, amendments, awards, matched custom alerts, schedules, webhooks, or on demand. Actions cover Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, webhooks, in-app notifications, log note, add to or remove from pipeline, change phase, assign member, create task, save document, Google Drive, and SharePoint. A dedicated Start Proposal step launches the full proposal writer inside the pursuit and can wait for the structured bid package to finish before downstream steps read it, run a review, and route the draft. Start from a prebuilt template (including a full Shipley capture pipeline) or describe the automation in plain English and let the platform assemble it. Unlimited on DATA + AI + Automations.

Procurement Sciences™

No event-driven automation runtime advertised in public marketing.[4]

Claude and ChatGPT integration

CLEATUS

CLEATUS is published as a one-click app in both official directories, the Claude.ai connector directory and the ChatGPT app store. Under the hood these are first-party MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors, connectable straight from your dashboard with no endpoint URLs or API keys to configure. Once connected, your AI assistant can search opportunities, read solicitations, draft proposal sections, look up contracting officers, and update your pipeline using natural language — without leaving Claude or ChatGPT. Included from the DATA + AI plan.

Procurement Sciences™

No Claude or ChatGPT MCP connectors.

CLEATUS vs Procurement Sciences (Awarded AI) FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Both platforms are AI-first GovCon products, so the differences are about delivery and surface area. CLEATUS automates capture for you — every day the AI matches new opportunities to your capture profile and pre-shreds every solicitation into the Uniform Contract Format so bid/no-bid takes minutes. It publishes pricing, ships a 7-day free trial, exposes itself as a tool inside Claude.ai and ChatGPT via MCP, and includes event-driven AI Workflows with native Slack and Zapier actions. Procurement Sciences (the Awarded AI platform) is sold via demo and annual contract, focuses on its Awarded AI Draft and Review modules with a vendor-led certification program, and offers single-tenant Azure Government / GCC High deployments for CUI and CMMC Level 2 workloads today. CLEATUS FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency is expected in Q3 2026, audit pending.
